Testimonials

The people at Macadamian are very professional. The project they did for us demonstrated their technical expertise and project management skills to deliver to our expectations in scope, quality and cost.

When a new company incorporates, they need to pick a unique name, and this process can be confusing to clients. Our team builds Web services to make picking a unique name easier. Our challenge is that we need to serve both first-time users and experienced professionals. Macadamian performed a series of usability tests that immediately pinpointed where the process was too complex, or where users needed more guidance. Their team is very professional, and they were a pleasure to work with.

Macadamian’s depth of experience in J2EE and track record in product development meant we were able to release our product much sooner than if we had hired new development resources.

Working with Macadamian went so smoothly that it made me wonder why we didn’t try outsourcing product development sooner. With Macadamian’s blended team of local software managers and global engineers, we were able to leverage the cost savings of offshore outsourcing without the usual coordination headaches, and accelerate the release of our product at the same time.

This project has revolutionized the way the world looks at the Inuktitut language. The Living Dictionary is something that all Nunavummiut can be proud of.

I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Macadamian again - they initiated knowledge transfer that ensured our Solaris maintenance team hit the ground running. It showed that they didn’t just care about their bottom line, but our continued success.

I just wanted to comment on how professional everyone has been. I really put your development team on the hot seat, and they were able to explain everything they did and why. I am very pleased with the work you have done!

It’s rare for project leads to have both technical depth and project management skills; Macadamian’s project leader excelled at both.
